Though it was not yet evening, the sky was dark and dreary. There was a steady rain falling, we didn’t think anything of it. Within minutes, however, the rain became so heavy that even with creeping along, the windshield wipers, working their hardest, couldn’t keep up. As the cars raced through the streets, sending jets of water over the sides, we concluded that this must not be unusual. When we arrived at our first stop, we dashed for the building. We weren’t fast enough, though, and we got soaked. It was fun to have an excuse for running through the puddles- the excuse being, you are already wet enough. Haha. It reminded me of the fun times when my brothers and I used to get on summer clothes and go run around in the puddles, have mud fights, and just get totally dirty. I could go on for a while telling you stories. Don’t worry, none of that could have happened in the city…
As rain has been frequent to our days, it has been common to say… “It was raining when I woke up this morning.” Oh, by the way, that reminds me…
The End
Matthew West
It was raining when I woke up this morning
So to escape it I went back to bed
But then the rain started leaking through the ceiling
And pretty soon it was pouring on my headSometimes it follows you home
Like an old stray dog
It won’t leave you alone
But it’s not the end
The end of the world
It’s just another day
Depending on graceNo it’s not the end
The end of the world
It’s just another day
So don’t sleep it all awaySo I jumped into my car and hit the freeway
I found a sunny spot so I could work on my tan
But just as soon as I stepped one foot in the ocean
From out of nowhere it came pouring down again
Cause sometimes it rains
All over your parade
It’s like you’re reaching for the sun,
And you’re landing in the shade(chorus)
Well the moral of the story is
Sometimes life takes so much more than it gives
But the One who makes the air I breathe
Is the One who’ll fix the ceiling when it starts to leak
It may look like the end but it’s only the beginning(chorus)
